Handling CaIifornia Whcat.

In no country in the world can wheat
be handled as cheaply as in California.
During the harvest season there is no pos
sibility of rain, and the wheat is put into
burlap bags and stacked up in the field
until the farmer is ready to ship. When
sent to San Francisco it lies on the wharf
until ship is ready to take it ON board.
No shelter is needed, pnd there are no
elevator charges, the bags being placed ON
board ship just as they came from the
fields. In addition to the profit resulting
from cheap handling, the owner has his
profits considerably increased by the gain
in weight made ON the voyage to Liver
pool. When the wheat leaves California
It is dry as finder, and in exactly the con-
dition to absorb the moisture of the sea
air; and, consequently, on its arrival in
England cargo of wheat will be heavier
by many thousand pounds than when it
left California. Wheat is never shipped
in bulk, but always in bags, as when
loaded in bulk it is about the most danger
GUS cargo ship can carry. No matter
how lightly it may be packed at first, it
settles considerably within short time,
and then is very liable to shift. When
shifting takes place ship is as good as
lost, as the change in the center of gravity
throws her on her beam ends, and she is
nearly certain to go to the bottom In the
first moderate gale. Many ships were
lost in this way, and now the shipment of
grain in bulk is prohibited by lava.

Jack Sharp Very Restless.

Judge Potter's decision in his favor and Gov-

MIR. Sharp's counsel have given up their in

Malone as an Agriculturist.

Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, is a
nervous, forcible talker. He tells story
about his first experience after the war in
endeavoring to accustom himself to cir
cumstances. 1t gives good idea of the
general situation of the southern states at
that time. ''It was pretty hard for me to
determine what to do with myself said
Gen. Malone. IT knew had to have
something to eat, and thought would
try potato planting. took the old negro
cook out to the field with me, and she
knew more about planting potatoes than
I did. We worked away at it for about
half day and concluded that was not
born to dig in the fields, and I told the old
cook that it was a heap of common sense
better for US both to go into the house. I
never paid much attention to whether the
potatoes came up or not, as set my mind
to work to earn my living without tuck
ing at q hoe handle. New York Tribune.

Paris, Sensational Entertainment

Determined that London should not re-
main the unchallenged possessor of the
sensation of the season in the shape Of
Buffalo Bills Wild West show, Paris has
organized an entertainment which virtu-
ally introduces Parisians to the life that
the Arabs of the desert lead in Algeria
The equivalent for Buffalo Bill in this
show Is the Sheik 4 bdallah-ben7 "A bmed-
ben Sliman, and he has brought with him
to Paris enough of his tribe and their be-
longings to give a very realistic exhibition
of Arab tent life. Male and female Arabs
may be seen in their native dress, tents
are pitched, horses and asses are tethered
beneath the palm trees, native dances are
performed to the accompaniment of native
music, there are specimens of Arab skill
in equitation, and the whole spectacle con-
cludes with an effective tableau, in which
number of zouaves, chasseurs d'Afrique,
spahis and other Franco-Algerian troops
take part.-Home Journal.

HAvANA's BATHING RESORT.
Pits for the Public-A Stroll Along tn
Reach-The Breakers.

Pits for the Public-A Stroll Along the
Beach-The Breakers.
At last you reach the baths. Here, too,
a q glorieta, and beyond this are the most
peculiar facilities for bathing that re-
member to have seen. A long, high reef
has been cut and followed into dozen
separate VOLS just where the surf tum-
bles against the shore. These cavities are
twelve or fourteen feet square and six or
!. eight feet deep; In each there Is a hole or
window opening toward the sea, and as
large as the body of man. Through this
the water finds entrance, standing, per-
haps, four feet above the floor. A wooden
roof stretches over all these pits, each of
which is fenced off separately above the
water, and thus converted into an excel
lent bathing room, open toward the sea.
There is wooden floor at the entrance,
with sufficient furniture, and fight of
steps cut into the rock, by which you de-
scend to the bath. The sea flows in and
out necessarily through the aperture, the
bottom of the pit is rough and the sides
rugged; the crabs are crawling in your
huge tub, and the seaweed comes in at
the window, but the whole effect is
unique and delightful. You can look over
the rocky wall to the ocean beyond, and
the breeze is constant and unobstructed,
for the boarding between the rooms
reaches only half way to the roof, which
is fifteen feet above the water. In very
high seas the tide submerges the baths,
and sometimes in storm the whole
wooden structure ia swept or blown away.
Some of the pits are large enough for
half dozen bathers, and these are called
public ; but the private ones can be taken
by a party Of two or three or by single
person TO rise ut 5 or 6 and reach the
bath almost before the sun, and spend
half an hour In the Atlantic in one of
these strange tropical crannies, half natu-
raj, half artificial, is the most delightful
preparation for a Cuban day in July that
can be conceived.
After this / sometimes strolled along
the beach, which is cool at this early hour,
and looked out on the great sweep of the
sea that always seems bluer there than
anywhere else in the world, and calmer
than any ocean surf that have known.
The waves were less boisterous, the line
of breakers never very high unless in alb
solute storm, while the water itself,
though stimulating and celebrating in
sensation, was softer than other sea water,
and left none Of that singing and some
times disagreeable effect upon the skin
that ocean water often produces. Then
found my way back to my hotel, as differ
emit summer resort as possible from
those at Newport or Long Branch, or
Dieppe or Scarborough, or ut any other
seaside place on either continent.-Adam

The German Blacksmith's Horseshoe.

In Germany blacksmith, when finish
ing horseshoe, punches hole in the two
ends, and when the shoe is cold he taps in
a screw thread and screws into the shoe,
when on the horses foot, sharp pointed
stud of an inch in length, and with shoes
thus fitted the horse travels securely over
the worst possible road, either when rid
ing or driving. Draught horses are shod
in the same way. When the horse comes
to the stable the groom unscrews the
pointed stud and screws in button, so
that no damage can happen to the horse,
and the screw holes are prevented from
filling. When the horse is going out the
groom takes out the button and screws in
the pointed stud, and there is no fear of
the horse coming back with broken knees
or strained sinews, and the public is
spared the sight Of horses down or slip
ping in all directions. Chicago Times.

Fever Epidemic.
WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. IA repetition
| of the fever epidemic at Plymouth which
caused the death OF more than 100 parsons
during the summer OF 1881, is threatened in
that town. A number of cases of fever have
broken out, and some deaths have occurred.
Ii has just been discovered that certain per-
sons have carried the contents Of their cess
pools to the flats in the lower end Of the town
and dumped them there and In the course Of
time the night soil dried and the fever seed
was carried into the town by the southeast
wind At a meeting of the borough council
Friday evening three physicians testified that
the whole community was threatened with
fever on account of this open violation OF
sanitary law. The council agreed at once I'd
issue proclamation forhidding the dumping
of soil or other filth in the flats below the
town. The people are also notified to clean
up their premises. The greatest apprehension
is felt, and many people talk about emigrat-
ing from the town rather than go through
the experiences OF two years ago, when the
whole town was Frustrated with fever. The
men who dumped the night soil on the flats
are condemned on all sides and thers Is talk
Of having them arrested. There are thirty
cases of fever in town at present.
